A-level set practicals: factors affecting rates of photosynthesis
This updated version of the SAPS algal balls resource is designed to support the use of practicals across 2015 A-level biology specifications.
Students measure the rate of photosynthesis in comparison to the rate of respiration. Because of this, it is possible to determine the light intensity at which the...
Microscopy of root tip mitosis
In plants, cell division by mitosis takes place in specific tissues, called meristems, that are found at the growing root and shoot tips and in the cambium between the xylem and phloem of the vascular bundle. The cells in the meristems are...
Dissection and scientific drawing
The ability to accurately observe, dissect and record an organism is a key skill for biology students. Many students are intimidated by the idea of making a scientific drawing, and struggle to develop their skills in this area.
This resource is designed to meet the specifications for the A-level...
Investigating flower structure and function in primulas
This resource is designed to meet the specifications for the A-level practical endorsement in England (CPAC). However, given its focus on adaptation and evolution, it will make a valuable resource for those following a variety of different specifications, such as the Advanced Higher Biology Organisms and Evolution...
